  57"I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope
  58 For hope would hope for the wrong thing; wait without love
  59 For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith
  60 But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.
  61 Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought:
  62 So the darkness shall be light, and the stillness the dancing."
  63  -- T.S.Eliot, East Coker

3237    Implicit -p print now checks for write errors.
3238    DB_File now sub-classable (and other fixes).
3239    Memory usage stats available with perl's malloc (see perldelta).
3240    'use UNIVERSAL;' deprecated (see perldelta).
3241    Internal integer to string conversions are faster.
3242    Carp can be forced to give stack traces (see perldoc Carp).

5197This patch eliminates almost all possible sources of buffer overflow;
5198in particular, there are no more sprintf() bugs.  (!!)  This patch
5199also has a few other fixes.  With these changes in place, I can sleep
5200at night.  (Because I've stopped hacking.  :-))
